MCC San Francisco Board of Directors

Leadership from the Congregation

Congregational Meeting on Sunday, Feb 19th - Application for Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Metropolitan Community Church of San Francisco is the local church administrative body and is authorized to provide administrative leadership subject to the direction of the congregational meeting.

The Board of Directors has charge of all matters pertaining to the church's legal organization and incorporation, church property, risk management, and physical and financial affairs of the church. In 2009 the congregation amended its bylaws to set the size of the Board to seven members elected from the congregation and the senior pastor, who is a permanent member. The Board then elects its lay leaders, treasurer, and clerk.

Berkeley, Kristine shares a home, a dog, and a budding entertainment business with Carolyn Eidson, her partner of 8 years.

Farlie Ham grew up on the East Coast and was raised Southern Baptist. After coming out, he was homeless for a time, but his faith and desire to find a gay church landed him in San Francisco. Farlie began attending MCCSF in 2002 when his partner passed away, and became a member in 2003. As his love for our community grew, so did his service to the church: He continues as head usher—a post he has held for six years—and has assisted in a number of fundraising events. HIV+ for 22 years, he is on social security/disability, but also works as a housecleaner/general laborer and volunteers with Castro Community on Patrol and the Neighborhood Emergency Response Team.
